Title, Got Chips



Problem Scenario,

Lots of grease in chips.



Broad Question,

How much grease do you consume in a bag of chips.


Specific Question,

How much grease is in potato chips.

Hypothesis,

I think that the amount of grease that comes out of the chips is going to be a lot.



Variables

Dependent variables:

the mass of the chip times how many their is, and how much each paper towel weighs.




Variables That Need To Be Controlled:

What type of chip it is, how big the chip is, and how much grease comes out of the chip.



Vocabulary List That Needs Explanation

Mass- The amount of where something is, and or how much space is around it.
Times- Multiplication, and the symbol x.




General Plan:

i'm going to take the chip set it on a paper towel and see how much grease comes off within a week.


Potential Problems And Solutions

The only problem i may have is the chip being messed with during the process.

Safety Or Environmental Concerns

I have no environmental concerns.

Experimental Design

Detailed Procedure

Fist i bought the chips, second i layed the chips with a small amount of chips. Let it sit for 5 days, recorded the data by measuring in grams. last i threw them away because the procedure was over.
